Your piece on why "Australia is easy" reminds me of Steven Pinker's book "Enlightenment Now" where he argues, with compelling data, that health, prosperity, safety (and other elements of wellbeing, even in Third World countries) are vastly improving due to reason, science and human ingenuity.
Thanks Andrew, I continually tell people we are the luckiest people on earth to live in Australia, and often hear back moaning about the political system, cost of living, etc. love your take on EASE (and all the work behind it) and totally agree.
US Presidential Libraries are fascinating, though I've never seen any of the four I've visited as "mausoleums". To read Kennedy's inauguration speech, replete with his hand written changes, lined up behind glass, with those famous words "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country" made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Each of the four, at least for me, presented a powerful moment.
